Pleasure's not forbidden But it's asked to keep its distance Flash every signal green But only for an instant What I had to offer Was a very good best Just a playful peck A coda to a childish fight Now I'll always taste Campari When I dream of Tuesday nights Of a salted, steady breeze That brought your body close to me Lavender and sage The soundtrack of the desperate middle age The softest and sweetest kind of rage I may as well be mute for what I want to say Nothing but a bridge to carry every stranger Who expects a little kiss To get them through the danger Whatever hopes we had went up in flames down by the river Pleasure's not forbidden but it's asked to keep its distance It was nothing but a hunch That hit me like a truncheon I was happy with a lunch But you gave me a feast In peals of wild laughter that spread from west to east A bittersweet raconteur Of blissful disobedience Whatever flags were flying I was bound to set sail I didn't spoil the ending It was up there in the trailer Lavender and sage A shorthand for the multitude of ways I ruined every dinner with a gaze Out the window somewhere far away Nothing but a stage where we take advantage The power play's the thing Where you catch the conscience Of the king and of the queen A delicate imbalance Pleasure's not forbidden but it's asked to keep its distance Lavender and sage A shorthand for the multitude of ways I ruined every dinner with a gaze Out the window somewhere far away Nothing but a stage where we take advantage The power play's the thing Where you catch the conscience Of the king and of the queen A delicate imbalance Pleasure's not forbidden but it's asked to keep its distance
